First things first: calculate the wall opening
Before anything, you will need to calculate the wall opening for your Block Lock kit. To calculate the wall opening area, take the following steps:
- Take the width of the block(190mm) and multiply by the number of glassblocks you need, we will use 6 for this example: 190mm x 6 = 1140mm
- Multiply the width of the spacer joint(4mm) by the number of inserts(5), and add it to the above number: 4mm x 5 = 20mm
- The total: (190x6) + (4mmx5) = 1160mm
Note: The Block Lock Kit page will automatically calculate the correct opening size for you based on your selections.

Step 2.
Apply Block Lock glue in the middle on a floor profile and a wall profile.
Attach these to the floor and wall, and then apply Block Lock glue on the upperside of the floor profile and 20cm up on the wall profile. |

Step 4.
Apply Block Lock glue on a vertical 18cm profile on both sides.

Step 5.
Place the vertical profile on the glass block. Repeat steps 4, 3 & 5.
|
|

|
 |
|
Step 6.
Apply Blcok Lock gule on a horizontal profile and place it over the first layer of glass blocks.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Step 7.
Continue with the next layer. Assemble 5-6 layers and leave them to dry. Continue with assembly after 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 8.
After the wall has dried for approximately another 24 hours, grout the joints with Block Lock glass block grout in any colour of your choice.

Step 9.
Now your wall is finished. If you didn't choose end blocks to end your wall, you can finish the wal iwth U-profiles or glass plates.
